Re: Blocking USB

I didn't say the was necessarly just, or that it isn't more than a little of
nose-spite-face, only that I understand the policy. Some of my favorite
people are Russian programmers, <s>.

That is unfortunate, as I am sure there is some great software coming
out of Russia, I have even heard that it was a great place to outsource
programming too, as there are a lot of great programmers and
engineers. But the criminal element is pretty nasty too, not sure if I
believe everything I have read about the Russian Mafia and cyber crime,
but it is still scary nonetheless.

exactly who is controlling the company that provides the software and,
more,
the lack of decent outside control over the foreign company's practices,
privacy and otherwise, and the potential lack of legal recourse should
some
action need to be taken against it.
